The second broadcast, on April 30, was an appeal of Denis Jerome Labossiere's three first-degree murder convictions in the deaths of his parents and brother in a farm house fire in 2005. The appeal court reserved its decision in the case.

Weinstein said he thinks cameras in the courtroom can educate the public about the court system.

"The media has not been doing a good job of educating the public as far as court proceedings," he said.

"This way, the public who wants can watch the full proceedings, so they come away knowing exactly how the court works."

Weinstein added that he knew cameras would eventually end up in Manitoba's courtrooms, but he hopes it won't be anything like media coverage of court proceedings in the United States.

"In the States, jury members have press conferences after. We just sit back and shake our heads. Hopefully it will never be like it is in the States," he said.
